In Kirk Mitchell's article "Boulder Residents Evacuated due to Wildfire can Return Home" it tells us of a fire that started up in Boulder. The fire scorched more then one hundred forty four acres of land west of Boulder. More then one thousand six hundred houses were evacuated, and many state parks were destroyed. However the fire was put out and now all residents will return home. This relates to me because I would like to know when to evacuate, and when to return home if there is a big fire. This relates to education because students need to know what to do in case of a fire. This relates to the world because fires start and stop everyday and everyone needs to know when there homes are at risk. In conclusion The fire in Boulder was well handeled, they got out everyone, and thet extinguished the fire. My question for you all is would you like to be well informed about fires near and far?

In Jonathan Rosenberg's article "Our Googley Advice To Students: Major in Learning" the article states that companies are looking for intelligent people to fill in for empty or unoccupied jobs. It also explains that students who are creative and are good problem solvers have a better chance of succeeding in careers. This seems like companies are being very malevolent towards students who are less smart. This matters to me because I want to have a good career and learn as much as I possibly can in order to achieve my goals. This matters to education because students everywhere want a decent job and to obtain their goals. This matters to the world because many people with jobs will be replaced by smarter and more intellectual people, this will lead to a lot of people jobless and cashless. In conclusion I think peole should be trying their hardest to get this advantage. My question for you all is will you let people take your job do to lack of intelligence?

In the article "Fire Scorches Southeast Denver Apartment Building" by Kieren Nicholson from the "Daily Post" she tells us of a fire that started in Denver. How the fire started is still unknown but nobody was killed, but a few women had to be taken to the hospital do to smoke inhalation. A few people who were on higher floors actually had to repel down the balconies. This affected me because I would like to know when and where a fire is burning. I also would like to know how to get out of my burning house if my exits were blocked. This affects education because I think students should know every possible scenario in case of a fire. We should be prepared in case an exit is blocked off. This also relates to the world because fires occur everyday and everyone should know where to find safety. Fires are very dangerous and we should be prepared at all times. My question is are schools really giving us all the safety procedures we need?

In the video "2020 Vision" by Karl Fisch, it goes into explaining how education is changing and students will be learning differently. The video tells us that we will be using much technology to learn and the students will be the philosophers, meaning most things will be done on the computer and not on paper. It shows that we will not even have to leave our houses to go to class because we will be learning from google and the internet. This affects me because I am a student and this shows me how I will be learning. I feel like this will b very hard for me to get used to but I am going to have to accept the new learning system in order to suceed. this matters to education because it affect all students and their learning processes. All students are going to have to use this teaching method if they want to get a good job. This matters to the world because we will learn more things much faster and we will be able to make new things and new learning methods. The question I leave you with is, will this learning process help or hurt you?

In the post "Man Going 90 mph Now Faces Drug Charges" by The Denver post, tells of a man who was flying at 90miles an hour who also had marijuana in his car. The man had a rental car and he was pulled over doing ninty miles an hour. The police then searched his vehicle and discovered thirty five pounds of pot. This matters to me because I am a new driver myself and I would like to feel safe on the road but it is hard to think this when you know someone out there is going way over the speed limit. This matters to education because it should show students that it is not only dangerous to go over the speed limit aand to have pot, but this decision could affect the rest of there lives. This matters to the world because people deserve to know what dangers are out on the road and they should learn from this mans mistakes. After reading this article, i would like to ask you all one question, will you be responsible on and off the road?

In the article "Rigor Redefined" by Tony Wagner, explains how education is changing, and management is looking for different skills in people to fill in jobs. Wagner is a bit of a philanthropist in this article because he goes on explaining that teachers are not teaching students right and it is partly their fault that students are lacking some life skills such as leadership, creativity, and communication skills. This matters to me because I am a student and I think I should receive as many life skills as possible so I can get a good job. This matters to education because teachers are changing learning and we will not be nearly as educated and there will be less and less philantropists throughout the schools. This matters to the world because everyone is competing for jobs, and you need to be smart if you want a decent job. In conclusion, I feel that it is not the teachers' full respnsibility to teach students all the life skills they will need. My question for you all is, are the teachers responsible for our poor learning habits?

In the article "Woman Hit by Car in Gas Station Identified" by Howard Pankratz (Denver Post), this woman influenced me in a way because this shows me how dangerous cars can be if you are not paying attention. This woman or Sandra Fredin was walking back to her car when she was decked by a Dodge Magnum. This relates to me because I sometimes go to gas stations and I have also seen some careless drivers. In away this relates to education because it shows that you have to be thinking at all times and you must bepaying attention to your surroundings at all times. This article was kind of like "To Build A Fire" because the man was not thinking or paying attention to his surroundings, just like the woman and the driver. This relates to the world as well because this acident could happen to anyone, anywhere at any time and we must act smart if we want to stay safe and alive. Finnally I leave you the question, Are you going to coast through life not looking at your surroundings, or are you going to learn and figure out your surroundings?
